Bending and Forming Services
The second phase of our production process, is our Bending and Forming area. Hitech-Gregfor has 6 Amada Press-Brakes, increasing turn-around time and production efficiency. Please browse through the pages in the drop down menu under the Bending and Forming Services section for more information.
Bending
Bending is a process by which metal can be deformed by plastically deforming the material and changing its shape. The material is stressed beyond the yield strength but below the ultimate tensile strength.
Our substantial amount of tooling and a 220 ton press strength allows us to bend almost every possible combination requested.

Tube Bending
A pipe and tube bender is a machine which bends tube, pipe and solid metals Pipe bending machines are typically pneumatic powered, hydraulic assisted, hydraulic motor driven, or electric servo motor. In the pipe bending operation the tube may be supported internally or externally to preserve the cross section of the pipe. In operations where there is flexibility in the shape of the pipe, the pipe does not need to be supported, however there will be some deformation in the cross section of the pipe.
Our range of machines are CSM of which one is a CNC and the other is NC, their details are as follows:
